JUST CHECKING IN

Today’s card features the new Citrus Blooms Bundle and Mediterranean Blossoms Designer Series Paper.  We all occassionally need one of those cards that is not a holiday or birthday but instead just something to let someone know we are thinking about them and are checking in.  I saw this card on Page 34 of the new Annual Catalog and I immediately knew I wanted to recreate it, so that’s what I did.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Boho Blue cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then used this cute background stamp from the Citrus Blossoms Bundle to stamp all over the front of the card base using Boho Blue Ink creating my own background.  Next, I used the three dies from the bundle that work together to cut out the leaf patterns, I cut these all at the same time from a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I took the center leaf bundle out and using the largest of my Water Painters I added a wash of Garden Green Ink (note: more is less so go light and you can add more as needed).  I mounted those pieces all onto the center front of the card base.  Once that was done, I took a piece of Linen Thread that measured 31” and wrapped it around the center of the card front twice and tied it into a bow over on the left side. 

I then added a strip of the Mediterranean Blossoms Designer Series Paper that measured 7/8 x 3 ½” across the center of the card.  I used the flower dies from the bundle and die cut 6 flowers in different sizes and added them to my card front.  Finally, I die cut the 2nd Smallest of the Stylish Shapes Dies Circles and stamped the sentiment “hello” from the bundle near the top using Night of Navy Ink.  I took a piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock that measured ½ x 2 3/8” and stamped the sentiment “JUST CHECKING IN” which is also from the bundle onto it again using the Night of Navy Ink.  I added the Lemon Lolly strip to the center bottom of my circle and then popped that whole thing up on my card using Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
